Texas Executes Brent Brewer Despite Glaring Issues with His Case
----------------------------------------------------------------

The state of Texas has executed Brent Brewer, a 53-year-old who spent
three decades on death row. Brewer's lawyers had argued the jury handed
down a death sentence based on the testimony of a forensic psychiatrist
who never examined Brewer - and whose arguments were later declared to
be "junk science" by a Texas appeals court. One of the jurors who agreed
to the death sentence later recanted.
